I've got a XenApp 6.5 farm running on Server 08 R2. I have created a policy to disconnect idle sessions after 3 hours but no matter what i do, it will not disconnect these sessions.

I've followed this guide to perfection, but no matter what i do it seems to not disconnect the sessions. I have setup an automatic reboot schedule policy and this works to perfection.. But just cant get this disconnection of idle sessions.

Is that policy local to that XenApp server or is it a domain/GPO policy? If it is a local policy that you configured, confirm that there are no other GPO based Citrix policies that can potentially reverse the policy you created. GPO policies have higher precedence than local XA server policies.

but as I need every day I set frequency to :1 (I believe 7 is for one a week)

in Start Regedit.
Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Policies/Citrix/IMA/Restart Options.
Note: The same settings are also stored under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Wow6432Node/Policies/Citrix/IMA/Restart Options

I have RestartSchedule_Frequency Decimal:1

First off, next time I would highly suggest that you post your question in a different thread. While it is a similar issue, it makes it much easier to track answers to your questions. Your question is not the same as the original posters question and thus may/will have different responses. You don't want to flood this thread with responses to your question (out of respect for the original poster)

However, to address your question, I noticed in that KB article, it does say the following:

"Note: This does NOT currently work with XenApp 6.5 by default. XenApp 6.5 has an error that prevents policies from applying to Worker Groups with a colon. To rectify this, choose not to use a colon (instead of 2:00am, use 2am), or install the following hotfix, which corrects the colon issue in XenApp 6.5 policy processing"

Have you considered that or does that comment apply to you? If this applies to you, have you installed the Hotfix?
